Does the video recording record audio? Can u zoom in while taking video and still record audio without the audio cutting out?

Yes the audio records while recording a video. While you can zoom before recording a video, you can not zoom during recording.

It will record audio during video. Ive not triewd zooming so cant answer your second question. I have to say that as time goes by,m Im less enthused byb this camera. It was cheap, being an old model, but I dont think Id buy it again. It takes too long to zoom in or out and serches way too long to focus in lower light conditions.

Hi Sharon, I've only recorded a couple videos right after I received the camera and those were only for testing the record function. I didn't record any audio but I do remember some slight wind noise. I just did a quick test recording the tv sound and it was ok. If you decide to purchase the camera, keep in mind the microphone is located on top close to where you would hold it with your left hand. Also, it is not stereo. The camera has served my needs and I've been very pleased with it. Photos are not DSLR quality but pretty good nonetheless. Wi-fi backup and sending via email on my home network work great. Sorry I don't have a better reply regarding the sound quality.

Does it take still pictures? Yes. There are seperate buttons for s.till photographs and live movie recording. Does it record audio only (such as music)?? As far as I am aware, it does not do that as a user selected item. I would be happy for someone to correct me if I am wrong. All the same, one could simply record video without any video input, and then turn that video file into audio only (after the recording is made) by using a program to strip out the audio only into its own mp3 file. Only takes a minute.

You can, however, zoom in and out BEFORE you begin recording.... you just can't do it WHILE you're recording. So if you want to record something zoomed in 5x, just be sure you zoom in before you begin recording.

Yes, the camera records audio in movie mode. There are two small microphones on the front of the camera, just below the LCD display. There is a wind-noise reduction option you can enable in the movie settings menu. The manual goes into detail on what functions might add inadvertent noises to your recording such as the optical focus and zoom motors.

No issues. It will improve the audio immensely. Experiment on whether to use setting 1, 2, or 3 for mic level in camera will suit your needs. I go to the zoom h1 for recording but you can go to the camera direct.

I have tried and can't get it to zoom in and out during video recording. Hope this helps.

I don't use the digital zoom and agree with the comment below that it's better to do that with a video editor... I use the Q2HD to record our bands live performances. Decent audio and video quality for the price... battery life is a little short if you don't have an outlet available for the DC adaptor.

No, but keep in mind this is just a receiver, it does not record. From this I record into a Zoom H4N and that has a speaker for playback.

Recorder? What does that mean? The microphone plugs directly into the camera and yes audio is recorded when you roll video and keeps on recording.I really like this microphone. It's crisp, clean and has excellent base quality.

Yes, it does record sound. However, if the camera happens to refocus during recording, you can hear the lens refocusing on the video playback.

The camera does record sound for videos, but the microphone isn't the best and sound is a little distorted, and I am talking about when the camera is dry.

No, there is no video record feature. But it plays just about every video file I've ever tried to play on it. I love mine. I use it all the time.

Yes it can record audio as well, and you can here it remotely too if you want. Best camera setup I have ever had!

I have not used that feature except to test the video. I do not know if it can record sound. I don't recognize a microphone anywhere. I am not sure it can connect live with the internet, either. If you seek that, you might want to contract Olympus about that. Sorry I could not be of more help. I have not looked into the manual in a big way. I just take pictures and its wonderful for that.

Hi David, yes it records the audio as well. However I would suggest taking a look at the L2 model or the HD model
